The basics of ancient Indian philosophy
8:10 - 8:20 (10 min)
Recorded on
A guest lecture on Sanātana Dharma, Āyurveda, and the nature of wisdom versus science. "Science is something that you discover. Science is where you discover wisdom; you don't discover this." "So my question to my family this evening is that: what is that change? Because this is a dead organ. It's transplanted into a man or a woman who is alive. So why do the habits of this person change?" Mr. Amasinghe, an Āyurveda specialist and devotee, addresses the gathering. He argues that Yoga and Āyurveda constitute a timeless wisdom, not a discoverable science, and laments the loss of historical evidence due to invasions. Using the analogy of an object that cannot be wet or burned, he points to the eternal Self (ātmā). He then discusses reported personality changes in organ transplant recipients, proposing an explanation based on the retention of a secondary prāṇa (dhānyamaya) in donated organs and the traditional necessity of cremation to release the final life force.
